{{DX tag | Other Medical | Medical Problem | Palliative Service | | 90400 | | |'''Critical Care and/or Medicine''' | Currently Collected | |}}

A [[palliative patient]] will have a "diagnosis" of Palliative Service if the patient is either under the care of Palliative Service Team or that this Service has been consulted. We code '''Palliative Service''' as a diagnosis because we did not have a reasonable alternative way to code it when we started to collect it.

See [[Comfort Care]] for collection instructions on that care goal.

== Coding Instruction for Palliative Care Service==

Palliative Service code should only be used as follows:

*ADMIT slots:

**only if the patient ~~has been previously enrolled in and~~ is ~~currently being cared for by~~ the Palliative ~~Care~~ Service.

**only if the patient is either under the care of Palliative Service Team or that this Service has been consulted, ''even if the patient was not accepted to that service''

*COMPLICATION slots:

**only if there is an actual consultation for Palliative ~~Care~~ Services after ward admission.

**only if there is an actual '''consultation''' for Palliative Services '''''after''''' ward admission ''even if the patient was not accepted to that service''

***Reminder: (change in collection process): if patient ~~becomes ACP C~~, ~~or comfort~~ '''~~AFTER ward admission~~''' ~~by the attending DOC order/note~~, you ~~can no long~~ code [[~~Palliative~~ Care ~~Service~~]] in ~~complication slot unless the service is actually consulted~~.

== Related data ==

The diagnosis code Palliative Service is related to, '''but not the same as''' a patient having [[ACP-C]] or [[Comfort Care]] orders, but you might be able to code [[Comfort Care]] in that circumstance.

Important note: (change in collection process): if patient becomes ACP C, or comfort AFTER ward admission by the attending DOC, you cannot code Palliative Care service anymore, unless the service is consulted. See [[~~Comfort Care~~]] ~~for more information.~~

==See also==

[[:Category:End-of-life related data]]

~~NOTE: We have now clarified further that Palliative Care Service does not mean the same thing as palliation, comfort care or ACP C. It is the actual Service involvement in care.~~
